2011 Release: The September Queen by Gillian Bagwell

Having loved Gillian Bagwell's debut novel The Darling Strumpet, I am really looking forward to her next release The September Queen about Jane Lane, the woman who helped Charles II on his quest to reclaim the English crown.

Charles II is running for his life—and into the arms of a woman who will risk all for king and country.

Jane Lane is of marrying age, but she longs for adventure. She has pushed every potential suitor away—even those who could provide everything for her. Then one day, adventure makes its way to her doorstep, and with it comes mortal danger…

Royalists fighting to restore the crown to King Charles II implore Jane to help. Jane must transport him to safety, disguised as a manservant. As she places herself in harm’s way, she finds herself falling in love with the gallant young Charles. And despite his reputation as a breaker of hearts, Jane finds herself surrendering to a passion that will change her life forever.
